Hello! How are ya?
I’m over here catching up on emails, making a video on compression socks and throwing up hair up to keep it out of my way.
Then, I realized a little cat was creeping up on me.
Recently I’ve received a few questions via email and Instagram on why I wear compression socks.
So, here is an Ask a Monican vlog all about why I wear compression socks… and other randomness.
If you have a question for me leave it in the comments or email me at RunEatRepeat at gmail .com

Question: Thoughts on compression socks?
Love them! I wear them all the time, but especially during pregnancy to keep swelling down. No cankles with these! 🙂
I have those pink argyle ones. So cute
I only recently discovered the joys of compression socks after going through a period of tight calves and deciding to find out if compression socks for recovery would help. They’re magic and I’m hooked! I tend to wear them overnight, and while I’m not sure if that’s “correct” or not, it works for me. 🙂
Thanks for sharing! I didn’t realize that the sleeves might give a different effect but thanks for pointing that out. 🙂
I actually noticed that when wearing sleeves for recovery (since my toes hurt, so I didn’t want to wear socks), my feet would swell around the edge of the sleeve by my ankle. I still wear the sleeves with my normal wool running socks sometimes while running, but I always choose socks for recovery. 🙂
And I love procompression. I’ve used CEP in the past, but procompression works really well and I can often find great coupon codes in the blog world. 🙂
Worked for my pink argyle* socks! Thanks! I have issues with my ankle after a really bad sprain and compression socks are the only things that actually work and help me run.
Compression socks ROCK! I wear them while running and afterwards for recovery….a different pair afterwards of course! 😉
I usually wear my compression socks for longer runs or afterwards
I wear them after races and when traveling but not during races usually. They feel good but I have no idea what they really do. Could be a placebo thing. =)
I love compression socks and definitely use them on longer runs. I don’t always need them on shorter ones, but when I know that I will be logging more miles, I make sure to have them on. I need to be better about keeping them on for longer after I get back from a run, but sometimes I don’t have the time to do that.
I ran a little longer than normal yesterday, but wore regular socks and my calves have more tightness than when I wear compression socks.
I love my compression calf sleeves.
Doesn’t seem like the discount code is working. Is it just me?
The code is valid for pink items only (breast cancer awareness month).
I’m going to see if there is one for all items… please hold 🙂
I wish pro compression made an entire body sleeve! 🙂 I’m convinced they’re the reason my calves weren’t killing me after my race this past weekend.
I love compression socks too. I wear them for all long runs and races, and if my muscles are feeling sore or tired sometimes I’ll wear them for shorter efforts too. My favorite thing is changing into a clean dry pair after a race!
I love Pro Compression socks! I wear both the socks and the calf sleeves. The best!
